Cloverfield’s Jessica Lucas cast in Raimi’s Drag Me to Hell
Jessica Lucas (Cloverfield) will be making new friends on the set of Sam Raimi’s upcoming horror film Drag Me to Hell also starring Alison Lohman and Justin Long. Yahoo.com gives us more on Jessica’s part.
Lucas will play the roommate and best friend of Lohman’s character, the unwitting recipient of a supernatural curse.
Lucas is doing well for herself these days. She has been slowly building a career and has been paying her dues on television for the last several years with reoccurring guest spots on CSI and the Canadian series Edgemont. She’s also captured a few supporting roles in film including the horror thriller The Covenant and comedy She’s the Man.
True the gigs have been smaller but she has done well with what’s she’s been given and now with her lead in Cloverfield and a new part in Drag Me to Hell I think Lucas will be showing up on screen a lot more.
I personally believe that Sam Raimi’s expected move of having her covered in blood and screaming for her life in Drag Me to Hell will make her even more attractive to casting directors near and far.
What’s that? Sharon did a post? Welcome back, Miss Dewitt!
As for Jessica Lewis, she’s been fairly good in the crap films she happens to show up in (such as Renny Harlin’s Covenant) and if this bit in Raimi’s film doesn’t help boost her awareness level, nothing will.
Why thank you for the welcome back Darren, I can think of no one better than you to do so.
She has a good pair of lungs for the screaming and I can believe she’d knock a bitchy demon out too, but I don’t know if I enjoy seeing her on film. Maybe I’m wishy-washy. Not to say I don’t enjoy seeing her–I’d fdisk a few aliens for her–but I’m not sure me, or anyone in mass, enjoy watching her on the big screen..
